I Passed A Stone The Other Day

A milestone that is...my 500th blog post. I just realized it and it made me think about where this blog is going. I still do not know, but I feel the need to keep moving and seeking the Lord's face continually.

As long as the ruminations of this blog keep allowing me to do that, I will keep blogging. I guess that is progress; from writing about what I want to seeking Him and writing what He wants. Huge progress. I feel that this is no longer just my blog, but it is becoming His as well. I know I will have really begun to make progress when I feel it is no longer mine at all but His alone. I feel that then the journey on The Narrow Road can truly begin. Imagine, it took 500+ posts to begin to realize, understand and accept that.

I look forward to passing that next stone.

Time is Flying By

I just realized that my 300th post was the other day. So much for tracking milestones. I never would have thought I would be doing this that long, or get here this fast:

• 1st Post 06/28/08
• 100th Post 10/20/08 - 115 days later (9,936,000 seconds)
  
• 200th Post 12/09/08 - 51 days later (73,440 minutes)
  
• 300th Post 01/23/09 - 46 days later (1104 hours)
  

Things cannot keep accelerating, or I will be posting non stop. I have this mental image of the Matrix, when the characters are moving so fast you have to show them going slow. But I would need to hire a special effects crew to make that happen.


The interesting thing is not that I necessarily more to say, as much as it is that I am more comfortable saying it. When I started I was posting once every three days. Now, I can post 3 in a day, although I do not do that often (I find three a day's tiring).

My questions for those of you who blog (and my answers):

• Have you reached an optimal posting level? (two a day seems most comfortable, but I often only do one)
  
• How long did it take you to get there? (a little over three months into my blogging)
  
• Did you dial it back from your highest posting speed? (not really)

Given my current production rate, I will probably be noting (at least in my mind) the -ennial posts every 45 to 60 days, 6 to 8 times a year, pacing which would have made me nervous six months ago.

But given I usually have nothing to say other than my faith walk, I should have no problem saying so much. I will never tire about talking about God, about sharing my walk with Jesus. And I find it amazing that He gives me the opportunity to do so.
